.Sh DESCRIPTION
Thread attributes are used to specify parameters to
.Fn pthread_create .
One attribute object can be used in multiple calls to
.Fn pthread_create ,
with or without modifications between calls.
.Pp
The functions 
.Fn pthread_attr_setstackaddr
and 
.Fn pthread_attr_getstackaddr
respectively, set and get the address at which the stack of the newly created thread should be located.
The stackaddr attribute is set within the
.Fa attr
argument, which can subsequently be used as an argument to
.Fn pthread_create .
.Sh RETURN VALUES
If successful, these functions return 0.
Otherwise, an error number is returned to indicate the error.
.Fn pthread_attr_getstackaddr
returns the stackaddr attribute value in 
.Fa stackaddr 
if successful.
.Sh ERRORS
